We’ve entered that silly part of the winter calendar when brain cells start vibrating in loopy patterns. Yep, the US National Toboggan Championships are coming our way.
Here’s the scoop. And here’s the proof.
(There’s a good reason nearby Mt. Battie is called Mt. Battie.)
The last winter storm left snow so deep, this beautiful horse was frozen in the front yard of this Rockport home.
Is that the saddle waiting for a rider?
While nearby, a frozen, but fierce, folk art fish guards this garage.
And luxurious condos shelter real snow birds.
After a winter storm in Maine the sky is usually bright blue.
Which makes our windows so pretty.
Just a tiny glimpse of yesterday’s storm.
In Maine, the bright, sunny days that come when a storm departs are always amazing!
It’s Christmas time in Maine.
You can tell by all the simple and charming wreaths on doors, barns, lamposts, churches, mailboxes, and jeeps.
They look absolutely perfect on our New England architecture.
Wreaths are used in many cultures and often relflect the idea of strength or eternity.
(In Maine, they often stay up until spring arrives.)
Wishing everyone all the joys and happiness this season brings!
Or as Mike Crosson heard on the radio — “During this holy season, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Merry Festivus, Happy Kwaanza, and for all you atheists – have a nice day.”
